The theme this year will be, “As seen through your eyes”. This theme will allow the photographer to express his or her vision without restricting the creative ability.

These categories will be created later for submission of photographs. Do not submit them to the regular gallery categories with similar names. Upload photos via the gallery home page. Just put them in the appropriate category when uploaded.

A panel of judges will consist of individuals from two respected companies serving the global photographic community for many years. Popflash.com in the United States and RoberWhite.co.uk in Great Britain. The judges will review the photographs submitted and select the finalists from each category based on creativity, quality and originality. Each of these finalists will then be grouped into one final category where the winning photograph will be selected based on the same criteria used for the finalists selection.
